    Good range of choices on menu. Handmade pasta is delicious. The house salad was not as tasty as it sounds on menu. Tiramisu was assembled table side, the freshness of the espresso dip and marscapone made it the best tiramisu I've had. The table for two next to the bar was very noisy for conversation. Service was friendly and helpful.

    I ordered the mozzarella in Carozza. It wasn’t as good as usual. The prices were all stuck together and wasn’t served hot. The fried zucchini flowers were delicious. Very flavorful. Ordered the gnocchi and they were very heavy. Usually, they are light and fluffy. A little disappointing because this is one of my favorite restaurants.

    Octopus and Lobster Pasta are good. Tiramisu was made by the table and tastes good as well! Ambiance level was high from my experience, so probably not a perfect place for business purposes.

    The food was amazing, the wait person and other staff perfect. At some point there was even a quick visit from someone who seemed like one of the family who owns the place. A wonderful dining experience!
